Keyconfig for Mouseless Mozilla

Today I learned a little about the wonderful world of Keyconfig. Install that keyconfig.xpi in both firefox and thunderbird, then get started assigning keys to javascript functions.

If keyconfig doesn't include a javascript function to do what you want, you may have to search the web for it. In thunderbird, to move an email to a folder with a single keystroke, I followed Deef's helpful instructions. In firefox, to open the "back button history menu", I quit firefox, added a couple of snippets of javascript from Mozillazine's Keyconfig Page to ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/prefs.js, restarted firefox, opened keyconfig (with Ctrl-Shift-F12) and assigned Alt-Shift-Left Arrow to "Back Menu".
